As reported... The Baltimore Orioles have received the majority of interest in Manny Machado from National League teams, but one American League titan apparently has its eyes on the four-time All-Star. Despite their need for starting pitching, the New York Yankees are reportedly showing increased interest in trading for Machado, major-league sources told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Adding Machado to the Yankees' offense would make one of the league's best units even more dominant. The club entered play Monday first in the majors in home runs and second in OPS.

Machado has been adamant that he'll reach free agency this winter and seek to land a contract as a shortstop, though he may have to move back to third base if the Yankees trade for him due to the presence of Didi Gregorius. In that case, the club would have to move rookie third baseman Miguel Andujar to the bench or the minors in order to accommodate Machado. New York could also have Andujar take reps at first base despite never previously manning the position at any level.

Why trade one or two of our top prospects to get Machado when you can get him for money alone ?? If we don't get pitching we won't need him till next year anyways... The only way I would do a trade like this is if he would agree to sign an extension...
